UFC fights are also a little bit more abusive on the body because its real. Whereas WWE is mostly fake therefore then can do it more often. So Shamrock will only have a total yearly earnings of a couple mil which is extremely high for a UFC fight and a WWE fight on average makes way more than a mil a season.
Back on Topic... the crippler was amazing and now hes a piece of **** and doesn't deserve to be burried in the ground he once walked on. He did great things but its all overshawdowed by this cowardly act that put a period on his life.

First off, your talking about the wrong Shamrock. Ken Shamrock went to WWE then came back to UFC. Frank Shamrock left UFC after he beat Tito Ortiz and never came back. At this time Frank went and faught in other promotions until 2003. It was at this time that he "Retired" but came back in 2006. He did not retrun to UFC, he faught Cesar Gracie at strike force.
This has nothing to do with Dana, as Frank will not deal business with him anyway.
Shamrock vs Baroni happened in StrikeForce not UFC and therefore had nothing to do with Dana offering anything.
I just think your talking about Ken, and not Frank...but then Ken never faught Baroni, so Im not sure. BTW this is Frank's second fight this year and will likely have 2 more this year but at least 1.
About pay, in general I would say wrestlers make more than UFC/MMA fighters but not all the time. And WWE fighters do not make way more than a Mil a season. Some do.. some dont.
Frank Shamrock (not the highest paid) made 1.3 Million plus bonuses (PPV buys, cash bonus) for this fight alone, he had one fight previous and has 2 more coming. Lets say he makes around what? 3 Mil this year? Plus he runs his own gym and merchandise.

So it is kind of iffy.. Some WWE wrestlers would make more and some MMA fighters work more.

but yeah I was confused with the shamrocks... as for the ppv and the merchandise I was including that in the wwe pay because they still have to claim it... so those figures are low becuase of the cuts. The merchandise and PPV actually makes way more than just pay alone.

i don't understand the terms coward and gutless being applied to this.
i would say crazy, evil, violent, unnecessary, psyocpath, sick, ill, immoral, but gutless and cowardly? how so?
you expect him to offer a pistol or sword and have challeneged them to a duel?

They describe him pretty well I think!
Tied up his wife and did his son while sleeping..... I think all yours fit the man too but these 2 definitions sum him and the situation up pretty well once you look up what they mean.

Could have been 05 then. And like I said, that is not all the money they make, just their salaries. They also make money from other things such as merchandise etc..
BTW, I think you just had your shamrocks confused.. lol they look alike so I could see why. (Even though they arent real brothers, they look alike..wierd.)

^I already agree with you and said I got them confused in an earlier post! lol
Bruce, suicide doesn't automatically make you a coward but the way he did it, why he did it definitely does! He was injecting his son with steroids because they thought he was small. Thanks fecked. You know roids had something to do with it because they make you paranoid, agressive, depressed... etc and with all the options and funds available to get help he took the weak mans way out and brought innocent people with him. Thats what makes him a coward and gutless.
Take your own life if you have to not others.
Plus there is a lot of poeple who would classify suicide in general as a cowardly act.

Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley
Cnn.com and nbc were saying his son has injection marks from having growth hormones injected in him due to his dwarf size.
